Converting RSSI=12xNxRSRP to logarithmic domain,

RSSI (dBm) = 10log(12xN) + RSRP(dBm)
RSRP (dBm) = RSSI (dBm) 10 log(12xN)

Terminals do not report SINR but only RSRQ and RSRP.

Note: Validity of formula have been proven in lab under above conditions and with
only one cell on air
( i.e. no other cell interference). Measurements from the field will differ as exact load
can not be set

If antenna power imbalance is large, second branch is effectively removed. In field

tests, its difficult to tell whether rank reduction is caused by power imbalance or
channel correlation, since often these happen simultaneously (e.g. line-of-sight).

In the test, x-pol had 5dB worse total gain due to attenuation in the RF feeder
network. Regardless, x-pol gives higher peak tput.
